I post about the mainstream media centering their reporting on conservatives; I also post on LGBT issues. Occasionally I write an article or two.

There’s a tweet for everything

Trump tweeted:

Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

A reminder the Democratic Party is not an opposition party.

It exists solely to prevent the country from moving too far left.

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes @azagmayes.bsky.social · 17h

The indictment of a sitting Attorney General for spurious charges is, even for the Trump administration, a shocking abuse of power. I stand with Attorney General James and the rule of law. These charges will be thrown out quickly if there’s any justice left in the United States.

The prosecutor put in office after the president who wants vengeance against his enemies told his AG that a WH lawyer was the person for the job — despite no prosecution experience — successfully sought an indictment against one of the named enemies, the second such indictment.

And you push this?

By the start of 2027 it will far exceed all of Utah and Virginia combined. Before the end of 2027 it will surpass the largest state in the country.

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

They’re calling them “illegal policies.” I don’t understand-if the president does it, how can it be illegal?

The fact that the entire U.K. establishment is being led by the nose by a mid wizard book bigot who has no qualifications to opine on biology, gender, law, human rights or even literature is the sign of a very sick society.

SNP ministers have failed to pay their £250k bill, six months after the Supreme Court ruling. The rumour is that they're trying to stop @ForWomenScot taking further action against the government, but that plan has a rather large flaw. Me.
